Benfits of upgraded connectors

On the other side of the coin, there are those that will swear that nothing beats bare wire connections. LOL

You mean the patent of 47Labs for RCA plugs I suppose.
It is interesting but very restricted by design, for it is only permits a plain symmetrical solid core configuration.
But for speaker cable, if the conductors (and the braid) are silver, it is true.
Now even if it is true for the power cords, it is also very inconvenient to the point of masochism.

Yes, indeed. No connector is better than any connector. We use connectors because they make life easier, not because they improve the sound.

I removed the connectors from my speaker cables and can tell you I was extremely dissapointed with the change in performance. Even my 10 year old daughter could her the difference. She immediately commented - Dad, where did the music go?

I put the connectors back on the cable and connected them again to my speakers - low and behold - music started playing again.

that;s strange. What speaker cables are u using? kind to share?
